A Southwest Airlines gate agent at John Wayne Airport is accused of being awful in front of a five-year old girl - and on social media - because of her unique name.

The girl's mother says the agent made fun of the name and even posted a photo of her boarding pass on social media for others to chime in.

Five-year-old Abcde Redford pronounces her name "ab-city."

ABC7 News should apologize, too. They put this offensive line immediately below the story about little Abcde.

Maybe it’s true what they say about blondes after all.

This is not an accessory, Barbie, this is a living breathing baby who will need to use that name all her life. It will be the first impression and sometimes the only impression people have of her. Cute /Different/Unique...not a plus getting a job in a serious profession. Think a potential mate won’t think twice?

[JayGalt]

At the very least you could have gotten it in Latin.

[JayGalt]

Agreed. When did mildly unkind become something that merited hysteria? He did the kid a favor maybe it will sink in & Mom & Dad will change her name.

[real saxophonist]

With a name like that, I’m sure he couldn’t help becoming a bad mofo growing up.

[JayGalt]

Or it’s an honest reaction, by a very busy person who can’t believe his eyes. Hardly inexcusable and down to Mom’s choice if there is blame to be had. If there was more push back we wouldn’t have so many kids] saddled with made up names.
Pretending that its a normal name isn’t going to save that kid lots of teasing & heartbreak.

and frankly i hate that the articles mention she is epileptic. has zero to do with her stupid, stupid name.
Just trying to garner more sympathy.

[a fool in paradise]

In China, her name won’t be noticed and at her job delivering for Amazon she will merely be known as VP of customer satisfaction #43562718

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Amen. Praise the Lord!

[JayGalt]

The mother is looking for attention at her daughter’s expense.

Five-year-old Abcde Redford pronounces her name "ab-city."

Still doesn't beat the name of a new born girl patient's chart denoting the name of the baby;

La-a. That would be pronounced "LaDasha".

[Vinnie]

What’s her middle name ? Fghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ? Pronounced as “Felicia” ?

Remove the vowels and that could be Polish. (g)

“Paging Mike Hunt, Mike Hunt please pick up the white courtesy phone”...

Reminds me of an old warning by Ann Landers on naming your kids.

Seems a man named B N joins the Army.
He fills out the forms, Name..B(only) N(only)....

RollCall. Drill Sargent yells out “Bonly Nonly”

I did know a kid who’s name was two letters.

[Chickensoup]

Pronounced as “Felicia” ?

Noooo.

Fe-lice-ia!

[Disambiguator]

“It’s spelled Luxury Yacht, but it’s pronounced Throat Warbler Mangrove.”

[Amberdawn]

Exactly. It’s like naming your child “butthole” and then complaining about it.

[Political Junkie Too]

Does she have a brother named Ellem-Enno?

“That’s not her name, it’s her password.”

I thought you were supposed to use your dog’s name as your password, not your kid.

[John O]

I’m astonished! Normally we only see such idiocy out of the ghetto
